Nice

Sounds good with the foam but I don't have vinyle on my wheel
from Hunter factory and it's like softer covering and all these year needs good cleaning for sure.

Looks like a very good job. When you go to paint the binnacle I removed the compass and the plastic cover then painted it with vinyl paint. It will look like new once again.

Don't have the patience but I love the result. I could send you my wheel, you would have all winter. How much? :)

When my daughter was 11 or 12, we spent a couple of winter evenings applying "french hitching" to our wheel. Ended it all with a turk's head knot tied on the king spoke. Looks shippy and works well at minimal cost. After 10 years its a bit dirty but will probably last another 10 years. Unless I decide it needs replacement for aesthetic reasons...

Peck,

I like the look and feel of the leather wrap, but don't think it would do well in the sun here in Florida.

Jim,

mine looks very similar to yours:

Yes I was thinking to paint binnacle because I hate that green. That is someone who have only few cans of green and he paint all wood inside and ports and floor and everything. I have huge project before to change all that again in nice looking wood. Now is cherry and I'm happy. New project is to finish few left over green things and deck paint.But before I will build table for cockpit . I couldn't remove binnacle screws are lock and only cutting with small grinder is possible.
